Tsukiko fidgeted with the buttons on her school blazer, muttering a curse under her breath when she realized that she had unbuttoned them wrong, and quickly undid them to do them properly. She wasn't late, seeing that the Schoolmaster, who was a strangely affable fellow, and absolutely did not match her idea of a headmaster (which was roughly someone big, bald and with a lot of facial hair), had told her only to arrive an hour or so after class had started.
This did not suit her at all: being the newcomer, she desperately wanted to avoid drawing attention until she had managed to fit in. Then again, it would be hard to lay low: the Academy had opened an exception to receive her after the start of classes, so a new student was bound the be the talk of the day, she feared. She wondered what favours her father had pulled to get her accepted there halfway through the year.
Taking a quick turn, she made sure that the mandatory uniform was prim and proper, and sighed, wearily: it had been months she had last worn skirts, and never on a frequent basis -- and the uniform just made her feel... weird. It looked almost like a gala uniform or something. Sighing, she finally picked up her book and headed towards the classroom, lost in thoughts, knocking quietly on the door as she arrived there.
Inside, she heard the teacher go silent and then answer "Come in." She opened the door, and glanced around the class, noticing the other students wearing a similar uniform. Wearily, she approached the teacher who motioned her to come close and asked her to turn around and face her classmates: "Everyone, this is Yagyu Tsukiko... a newcomer to the academy" the teacher smiled "I think she needs a place to sit -- who has a free spot next to them?"
